Harris using Trump's words to shore up Arab-American support in Michigan

Harris and her allies in battleground Michigan are launching a new turnout campaign to assertively shore up support among Arab Americans, sending out mailers using Trump's own words about reimplementing a Muslim ban.

The Harris campaign is launching a mailer campaign to target Arab American voters in Michigan.

"Just last month, Donald Trump said he would ban Muslims from traveling here, and also ban refugees from Gaza," one of the mailers obtained by ABC News reads. Further down, the mailer says the former president "is no friend to Arab Americans," with one of their examples being his comment that he would let Israel "finish the job" in Gaza.

Another is a full-page black-and-white photo of Trump with "FINISH THE JOB" written above him. "That's what Trump said he would let Israel do in Gaza." The mailers, which come on the heels of a six-figure digital ad push, also points to the Arab American group Emgage Action's endorsement of Harris. (A number of other Arab leaders have backed Harris.)

Michigan, a state that was narrowly won in 2016 and 2020, is a target of both Harris and Trump's campaigns and has the largest Arab-American population among the states that will help decide the election. And Trump is making a play for them, too. Over the weekend, in Novi, Michigan, Trump invited Muslim leaders to the stage who are backing him, including Hamtramck, Michigan, Mayor Amer Ghalib.

Pro-Palestinian protestors who take issue with the U.S. response have demonstrated at Harris' rallies, including on Tuesday night as she delivered her "closing argument" speech outside the White House and Wednesday at a rally in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.

"Look, I'll repeat: We are fighting for our democracy. We love our democracy. It can be complicated at times, but it is the best system in the world," Harris said after several interruptions from demonstrators.

Harris, Trump swipe at each other over the Affordable Care Act

Harris, at a news conference on Thursday, swiped at House Speaker Mike Johnson's comments about making "massive reform" to gut the Affordable Care Act.

"I've been saying throughout this campaign, be very clear that among the stakes in this election are whether we continue with the Affordable Care Act or not," she said. "It has been a part of Donald Trump's agenda for a very long time. He has made dozens of attempts to get rid of the Affordable Care Act, and now we have further validation of that agenda from his supporter, the speaker of the House."

"What that would mean for the American people is that pharma -- that insurance companies could go back to a time when they would deny you coverage for health insurance based on pre-existing conditions, pre-existing conditions such as being a survivor of breast cancer, asthma, diabetes," she added.

The Trump campaign is trying to distance itself from Johnson's comments, telling The New York Times they are "not President Trump's policy position."

Trump is also seeking to separate himself from the remarks, despite saying numerous times this campaign that he would replace the ACA without offering a clear alternative.

Trump called Harris a "liar" and said her comments were a "desperate" attempt.

Harris pushes inclusivity in final days of campaign

Harris, while speaking to reports before departing Wisconsin, said she found Trump's comments about women "offensive to everybody" and that, in contrast, her campaign is about unifying people.

Harris, speaking with reporters before departing Wisconsin, continued to slam Trump for his comments that he will protect women "whether they like it or not."

"You've been following me and you will see that in the tens of thousands of people who attend our rallies ... there are men, women, young people, people of every race, every background," she said.

Harris said her campaign is "about bringing people together, people of very different and diverse backgrounds, around a common theme that is about love of country, defending the Constitution of the United States, investing in our future and rejecting the notion that we are divided."

"It actually is, I think, very offensive to women in terms of not understanding their agency, their authority, their right and their ability to make decisions about their own lives, including their own bodies," Harris said.

"He does not prioritize the freedom of women and the intelligence of women to make decisions about their own lives and bodies and health care for all Americans is on the line in this election," she added.
